Let women speak-Dublin Sept 16th

[KnittingDiva]

Anyone else on here planning to attend this?

Who are the 'women' you keep referring to ?

Who is Daniel? I think we should be told!

If it turns out to be a certain Owen McLove soundalike , millions of Irish women of a certain age are going to be a bit disappointed. More more jumper cakes for Daniel.

And the stench of desperation emanating from this thread grows stronger...

One of them was Sara Pascoe and another was Aisling Bea, I can't remember the third.

Sara Pascoe was one of the first female comedians calling out male comedians predatory behaviour.

Oh.... look at that.... PBPs on this thread.... backing up accusations about Glinner making threats, apparently against women.

At this point, I need to point out that the supposed 'threat' was made in response to a twitter profile called Daniel who is apparently a 'he / him' and was general in nature about protestors. It should be noted that 'Daniel' has also deleted their tweet from what I can see (please do post the thread so we can ALL see it if it is still available).

So, rather than taking Pink News' word for it, perhaps posters should seek out the full context before posting anything more.

Daniel = @d_lawrence89

I must admit I find the West-Brit insult really perplexing.

When I think of the social changes during my life the people who were besmirched with West Brit were (a) Those who wanted to bring in divorce (b) those who campaigned against the 8th (c) Those who wanted gay equality/marriage- the abuse David Norris took back in the day! In every single case the West Brit position was eventually shown to be the one that people wanted, and that was seen as compassionate.

We’re still conflating Moral superiority with nationalism, ‘twas ever thus. And we always get it arseways first.

Interesting echoes of Scotland, there. Or the other way around.

They have no idea what tf they re talking about anyway.

A good starting point would be the book West Briton by Brian Inglis. Older MN's will recall him as the avuncular narrator of All Our Yesterday's. Very English public school but actually from Malahide County Dublin. The term West Brit gets flung around far too much.

And then the faux nationalist bit. As an unrepentant Fenian and socialist they make me 🤮. I doubt Panti Bliss & co give a monkeys about sectarianism for example. Or the working class for that matter.

You don't know all 60 of my usernames though! 😁

I don't think you know what fascist means. It involves a dictatorship controlling both capital and labour stringently, and shutting down the opposition, sometimes violently. Don't think LWS fits that discription.

And what does that have to do with the tweet being discussed?

Fascism is dictatorship of both capital and labour along with the shutting down of dissenting voices. That does not fit LWS.

As far as I can tell, no one has yet quoted this amazing line from the Barbie film.
Because I think this has to be the go to response every time someone plops on here to squawk 'fascist' at us instead of actually having any kind of coherent point or argument.

I will admit to wanting to control the railways. Tickets are far too expensive and its a disgrace that our railways are in the hands of private companies that put profit before people.
But this is from my greenie socialist stance that public transport needs to be better used and more accessible, so I can see how it might be confusing.

@LizaBizza Do you like PIE?

So, mr Brand thought LOJ was like Orwell?

I suppose Orwell didn’t like women much either, then? Nor does mr Brand, it seems. Not in the sense of women being fellow human beings at least.

Well, nothing’s new.

Have very much enjoyed the accounts from those who were there on Saturday. Well done to all of you.

Its not at all surprising that misogynists instinctively liken each other.

You don't know all 60 of my usernames though! 😁

Well that's not fair. You know one of my two other usernames!

There was recent discussion of Mrs Orwell on here.

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/george-orwells-unacknowledged-debt-to-his-wife-eileen/

'[H]is sense of entitlement ... was especially apparent in his attitude to women, on whom he was inclined, almost indiscriminately, to ‘pounce’, forcing sex on them, then angrily reproaching them for not wishing to be raped.'

A long and thoughtful account here.

Oh... yes I do don't I 😁. I will never tell, not even on pain of death! About your other username that is!

As long as you continue to pay the weekly payment we're good!

Here's an article on what I posted a couple days ago

Finished your homework, @LizaBizza ? Back for more LOLs with the old women on MN? How peculiar today’s teenagers are.

I'm just here to leave a friendly reminder that gay and trans people exist, and their lives matter :)

So, to state the bloody obvious.
